Typhoon Turning Atlas by Weihong Qian,Xiaolong Shan,Haoyuan Liang Pdf
Typhoons with unusual tracks are difficult to forecast with respect to whether, when, and where typhoon turning occurs based on traditional synoptic charts and numerical weather forecast model products. This typhoon turning atlas provides an additional tool to deal with the typhoon turning question by using a physical decomposition method together with thousands of plots. In particular, this atlas provides important information of 322 historical typhoons that occurred in the past three decades and demonstrates how they were influenced respectively. Contents:Variable DecompositionTyphoons Without Obvious Turning MotionsIntensity Peaked in the South China SeaIntensity Peaked in the PhilippinesIntensity Peaked in the Taiwan AreaIntensity Peaked in the East Seas of ChinaIntensity Peaked in the Pacific Readership: Graduates, researchers, and meteorologists who are interested in typhoons and forecasting, earth science, meteorology, and complex systems. Keywords:Typhoon Turning;Atlas;Physical Decomposition;Tropical CycloneKey Features:This atlas provides typhoon tracking, covers mathematical decomposition, and provides spherical-harmonic expansionClassification of the positions from tropical disturbance to a typhoon's peak intensity as well as an explanation of the diagnostic method of typhoon motions in this atlas will be surely useful as a good reference for researchers and forecasters in the practice of typhoon prediction
